Message from the Rector
The Ghulam Ishaq Khan (GIK) Institute was founded 25 years ago the
Provincial (NWFP) Government promulgated its ordinance in March 1993.
Over the past 25 years, GIK has established itself as one of the leading
institutions of higher learning and has consistently been ranked as the
number one private-sector engineering university in Pakistan by the Higher
Education Commission (HEC). The credit for this goes to the Institute’s
Founding Fathers and all those who have succeeded them year after year.
We are also grateful to our Board of Governors, for their support and advice
in helping GIK stand out as a pioneering school of engineering and
technology.
Growth in the enrollment of students at GIK has been consistent since 2000, and the year 2017-2018 was no exception.
The rising number of students means the Institute must provide adequate infrastructure for its faculty, staff and
students and maintain an appropriate student to teacher ratio, all while maintaining high standards of education and
research. In 2017-18 construction of new academic and residential facilities were initiated to cater to the growing
demand of the self-contained campus. The establishment of GIK’s Incubation Centre, the Catalyst, was also completed
in 2018, adding value to the Institute as an innovation hub.
To impart quality education to our students, GIK has always recruited top academicians as course instructors – about
76 percent of our faculty members have degrees from highly reputable universities from across the world. The
recruitment of accomplished professionals, however, is only one integral element that defines GIK’s reputation. Our
management gives critical importance to ensuring programs of study is designed to encourage outcome based and
lifelong learning. One recent example of GIK producing influential leaders is that of Mr. Usman Iftikhar, who was
awarded the Commonwealth Young Person of the Year Award. The Institute continues to monitor the efficacy of its
programs by making improvements to its Out-come Based Education (OBE) Assessment System.
The Institute has been collaborating with local and international universities, mainly from Turkey, China, South Africa
and the USA, to expand the scope of research produced by the Institute, facilitate exchange programs and establish
new lab facilities. Huawei established its “Huawei Authorized Information and Network Academy” (HAINA) on campus.
The GIK admissions process is entirely based on merit. Although a not-for-profit institution, the Institute grants
scholarships or financial assistance to about one-third of its new intake, both from its resources and with the help of
many philanthropists, partners, alumni, companies and Federal and Provincial governments - we are thankful to them
all for their financial contributions. The Institute itself dedicated 76 million rupees for its undergraduate programs
and 95 million rupees for its postgraduate programs in 2017-18.
I want to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of our outstanding faculty, and all the other employees, because
of which the Institute has been able to sustain its exceptional reputation.
Engr. Jehangir Bashar

Message from the Pro-Rector (Academics)
The pride and pleasure of my soul are vested in leading the academia of an institute
that is the harbinger of novelty and excellence in the realm of engineering, sciences
and technology. Offering an array of academic programs at the BS, MS and Ph.D. levels,
the GIK Institute is committed to acquainting the new generation with the latest
developments in various fields of science and technology. Our degree programs
cherish parity with the best available around the globe, and our graduates stand
second to none in terms of knowledge, competence, talent and employability.
Our time-tested and long-running system of the pedagogic process adds to the
inviolability of our academics. The schedules are planned well in advance, and the
calendar so-set is followed strictly. Ours is a terminal system of education, the
magnificence of which has recently been embellished by the exquisiteness of OBE (Outcome Based Education) system.
It has lifted our graduates to the new spheres of success as they will now be counted at par with those graduating
from Washington Accord (WA) signatory countries, opening the gates of global mobility for graduates. The GIK
Institute’s reputation as a center of excellence is more reflective of its teaching faculty as the Institute’s name and
fame rest in the high standards set for the intake of faculty. I am proud of the faculty of the Institute for its outstanding
track records in professionalism pertaining to teaching and research. Its reputation travels around the globe.
The student at GIK Institute remains the focus of all activities. The faculty members groom students as their wards.
Being the only fully residential campus in Pakistan, we are available to them literally round the clock, which is why our
students never let us down and their marvels shine wherever they stride. It is very heartening to note that many
graduates of the Institute have already distinguished themselves in academics, research, business and management
in addition to teaching in prestigious universities or heading technical organizations both nationally and internationally.
The future of our generation is, thus, shaped here and the Institute fully rejoices this process of reformation.
On behalf of the faculty, and as the Pro-Rector, I pray to Allah that He may give us the strength to outline a road to
success for those coming ahead effectively. Amen!
Prof. Dr. Jameel-Un Nabi, FInstP

Message from the Pro-Rector (Admin and Finance)
It is a matter of great pleasure and privilege for me to present the salient features
and vital information relating to administrative and financial affairs of the Institute
administered by 6 Departments of Finance, Facilitation, Works, Projects and
Maintenance, Security & Protocol and Human Resources under my supervision.
Presently five departments are headed by the Directors while the Human
Resources Department is under my direct control. The Departments endeavor to
work in close coordination with faculties and interdepartmental functions
providing proactive administrative, financial, security and logistic support to all
the activities of the Institute.
Managing the human and other economic resources of the Institute within the
overall ambit of financial discipline, procurement of supplies, improving and
maintaining horticultural beauty of the campus, meeting the transport and security needs fall within their scope. In
addition to six Departments, Medical Centre functions round the clock to take care of the health and medical requirements
of the students, the faculty and the employees providing free medicines and free laboratory investigations. The GIK
College is another important organ of the Institute mainly meeting the educational needs of the wards of the faculties
and employees. I take pride in the role which Administration and Finance play in this Institute, striving for academic
excellence, meeting the needs of the academic faculties, students and employees.

About GIK Institute
The Ghulam Ishaq Khan (GIK) Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology is one of the most
prestigious engineering institutes of Pakistan. The GIK Institute is known to the world as a trends
and standard-setting institution of excellence in the field of engineering. Over the years, the Institute
has produced brilliant and innovative graduates employed at some of the most reputable firms all
over the world. The Institute aspires to be a centre of excellence in engineering sciences and
technology, which can act as an active agent of change and a model for others to emulate. It is
autonomous, independently chartered, and funded by the private sector. It strives to attract a faculty
of outstanding talent and ability, and to provide the students with a supporting and enabling
environment. It hopes to produce graduates who distinguish themselves by their professional
competence, humane outlook, ethical rectitude, pragmatic approach, and organizational and
managerial skills. Given these attributes, they should be able to respond adequately to the needs of
Pakistan and play the role of the vanguard of their techno-industrial transformation.
Apart from its outstanding academic program, the GIK Institute is also known for the versatility
and vibrancy of its extra-curricular potentials. All these activities are student-organized. At present,
GIK Institute has more than 20 student societies. These societies provide students with various
opportunities to remain fully involved in their aesthetic interests and undergo experiential learning
in a professional environment. Moreover, these societies instil in their members the priceless
qualities of teamwork and leadership.

Genesis
The genesis of the Institute can be traced back to the early 50's when Mr. Ghulam Ishaq Khan
(late) became acutely aware of Pakistan's dependence on foreign expertise and imported
technology. Out of his frequent interactions with the international and local experts emerged the
idea that a centre of excellence in engineering sciences and production technology ought to be
established in the country, a centre whose standards of education are comparable to those of its
counterparts in the advanced countries. The transformation of this idea into a practical proposition
took place in December 1985 when the Benevolent Community Care and Infaq Foundation
donated Rs. 50 million for setting up an institute in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for the promotion of
science and technology.
A milestone in the evolution of the Institute was the registration of its parent body, namely,
Society for the Promotion of Engineering Sciences and Technology (SOPREST), in June 1988.
Mr. Ghulam Ishaq Khan (late), then the President of the country, was elected president of the
Society for life and Mr. H. U. Beg was appointed its honorary Executive Director.
The task of conceiving and formulating the basic form and features of the Institute was entrusted
to a group of eminent scientists and engineers. These professionals started the transformation of
the dream into a reality at a galloping pace. The civil work at the campus site was started in early
1990. An interim office of the Institute was set up in August 1992 where senior professionals with
outstanding backgrounds worked in a cohesive group to evolve the educational aims and
philosophy of the Institute, its curricula, and details of state-of-the-art equipment for its
laboratories and workshops. The Frontier Government promulgated the ordinance of the Institute
in March 1993, and the first batch of students entered its portals in October 1993.
The Institute symbolizes the immense altruism and concern for collective welfare that exists in
the private sector. It is the first privately-funded institute of its kind in the country and dedicated
to bringing our engineering education at par with the advanced countries. The students' fees have
to align with the high costs of education. However, what the students are charged constitutes
hardly a fraction of the total cost incurred in running the Institute. It receives financial and other
support from diverse sources, its main donors being the Infaq Foundation, Chiniot Anjuman-e-
Islamia, Dawood Group of Industries, and the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

CHAPTER 3: Quality Assurance
3.1 Quality Assurance in Higher
Education
The purpose of quality assurance among Higher
Education Institutes (HEIs) is to make sure that
acceptable standards of education, scholarship,
and infrastructure are being maintained. Every
HEI must have a system of internal quality
assurance and other quality assurance agencies
to keep external checks. In Pakistan, HEC
(Higher Education Commission) ensures the
quality of education through QAA (Quality
Assurance Agency).
QAA manages the affairs in collaboration with the Quality Assurance Division of HEC whereas the
Quality Assurance Committee (QAC), comprising eminent educationists, serves as its Advisory
Board. QAA is working to safeguard public interest by enforcing good practices in education and
encouraging continuous improvement in quality in higher education. For internal quality assurance, QAA
requires every HEI to manage its Quality Enhancement Cell (QEC).
3.2 Quality Assurance in GIK
Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) has shaped some guidelines to appraise the quality of education in
Pakistan, making it accessible and more relevant to the ever-changing circumstances and global needs.
GIK Institute is the first privately funded institute of its kind in Pakistan - dedicated to bringing
Engineering Education at par with the advanced countries. The engineering programs of the Institute are
accredited by the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) and implement internal quality benchmarks to
enhance academic teaching and learning. The Institute is keen to strengthen its monitoring standards to
remain comparable with competitive international education and research standards. It follows strict
guidelines to assess its quality of education. The establishment of the Quality Enhancement Cell at GIK,
following Pakistan’s Higher Education Commission (HEC)’s guidelines, was another step in this
direction. A systematic procedure of quality assurance is followed by the Institute keeping in mind the
HEC guidelines.
3.3 Quality Enhancement Cell
The Quality Enhancement Cell (QEC) was established on 20th February 2008 at Rector Secretariat in the
H.U. Beg Administration Building of the Institute. QEC is responsible for undertaking various
assignments to create awareness, impart training, and carry out multiple tasks for Quality Assurance in
teaching and education.

3.4 QEC Yearly Activities
3.4.1 Institutional Performance Evaluation
An Institute’s performance is evaluated based on Adherence to Policies & Guidelines as defined:
• In ACT/Ordinance
• By Regulatory Bodies
• By Federal/Provincial Bodies
• By Accreditation Councils
• Adoption of Good Practices (International/National)
Institutional performance evaluation is divided into 2 processes into given Standards/Criteria:
• Self-assessment
• External assessment
Internal performance evaluation is done by the Institute itself. Following steps are taken to ensure the
quality of education internally:
3.4.2 Self-Assessment Process
Self-assessment of the program is carried out for each annual period to determine the effectiveness of
academic programs. The HEC Manual is followed as a guideline for preparing the reports and conducting
the assessment team visits. QEC initiates the self-assessment one semester before the end of the
assessment cycle through the Rector Office in which the program is offered. The department must submit
a Self-Assessment Report (SAR) to QEC through concerned dean. QEC reviews SAR and forms an
Assessment team comprising of Inter-faculty members and one external expert from another
Institute/University. The findings of the report are submitted to the exit meeting for further
implementation of corrective actions. For annual reporting period 2017-18, following visits have been
arranged by QEC.
Faculty/Departments Programs Date of Assessment Visits
• MS Applied Physics 04/08/17

Faculty of Engineering Sciences • MS Applied Mathematics 13/07/17
Inter Faculty Program • MS Energy System Engineering 22/05/17
3.4.3 Implementation of Outcome-based Education/Assessment (OBE/OBA)
In addition, the Institute has made significant improvements in the implementation of Outcome-based
Education/Assessment (OBE/OBA) system. QEC conducts various workshops/seminars to train faculty
on OBE/OBA and the internal mock visits for continuous monitoring and to give feedback. Pakistan
Engineering Council (PEC) prepared GIK Institute for the Washington Accord (WA) visit. To achieve
the WA accreditation QEC also coordinated with the respective faculty in preparation of SARs according
to the PEC Manual.

3.4.4 Course/Teacher Evaluation
Apart from the activities as mentioned earlier, the QEC team attends the workshop related to quality
assurance, collects/compiles the data for HEC ranking, and conducts course/teacher evaluation after each
semester. Above 80% response rate was achieved through online evaluation in the year 2017.
3.4.5 Annual Surveys
Alumni/Employer/Graduating Students/Faculty surveys are conducted annually. QEC generates

summaries of these surveys and distributes them among all faculties. Every year, these surveys are
revised keeping in view the requirements of each program to meet their respective Key Performance
Indicators (KPIs). Deans are requested to cooperate in refining/improving the surveys.

Career Services Office helps students to get a sense of the connection between them (their discipline,
their experiences, their skills, their qualities and their values) and the real professional world.
Additionally, it educates the students about what it is that employers are looking for, and having this in
mind, how they can develop according to the industry requirements before they finish at GIK Institute.
The office provides the following services to get our students through their career plans:
• Career counselling regarding job search, job application, CV/resume building, interview preparation,
etc.

The Career Services Office assists organizations in promoting their opportunities to students by inviting
employers to recruit and interview on campus, events, posting opportunities on our job board,
disseminating those opportunities by email, and arranging internships. The office has an internal
communication channel and communicates with students and alumni through email, social media and
text messages to disseminate any relevant information. Careers Services Office initiates a strong
relationship with all students when they reach the 3rd year of their studies until their graduation.

5.9 Outreach Program
Project Topi is the first student-run voluntary society of its sort in Pakistan, working mainly to educate
the poor children of Topi (where GIK Institute is located). It was started in the fall 2000 and, to this date,
has flourished into a well-organized and active society. The students manage to take out time from their
hectic schedules in order to teach local students and provide them with the motivation and aspiration they
lack so much. Results of this brave effort are very encouraging, and Project Topi has produced many
young individuals from the poor society of Topi ready to take up the challenges of professional life. Its
area of activity is confined to Topi only, but the message this group of students is trying to convey is
being heard all over the country. The message is to work for ourselves to eradicate the evil of illiteracy
from Pakistan in general and from the backward areas like Topi in particular, and students can play a
vital role in doing so. Team Project Topi collects funds from within the GIK student body and gives
scholarships to the needy students of Topi, so they can pursue their education and do not drop out only
because they do not have the resources. GIK students who cannot afford their mess bills are also provided
financial support through this program. Dr. Tahseen Amin Khan Qasuria, the advisor of the society
supervises all the activities.
• Mess Bill Assistance
Project Topi, in collaboration with the Alumni Association, provides mess bill assistance to the students
from the GIK student body who cannot afford to pay the mess bills. A monthly allowance of Rs 3000 is
provided to selected students. An amount of Rs. 500,000 has been earmarked from President SOPREST
Fund (PSF) for support of needy students who cannot pay their mess bills. Rs. 212,110 has been disbursed
by committee as mess support for year 2017-18.
• Stipends
The society has put a lot of efforts in helping the people living around the GIK Institute. Monthly stipend
and medical expenditure are provided to the needy people of the area. There is an easy form-based
procedure to apply for this aid. The selected cases are funded from the Project Topi (PT) account. PT
members conduct door to door fund collection from GIK student body.
• Scholarships
Project Topi facilitates the Alumni Association of GIK Institute in the selection procedure of deserving
students which are given Scholarships each year for their education in GIK.
• In Health Care
Contributing to the improvement of the health sector in backward areas is one of the major goals of
Project Topi, and every possible effort is being made to channelize the available resources to maximum
effect in the health sector.
• Blood Camps
Contributing to the improvement of the health sector in backward areas is one of the major goals of
Project Topi and every possible effort is being made to channel the available resources to maximize effect
in the health sector.

Project Topi GIK Society organizes Blood Donation Camp:
Project Topi, students’ society of Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology
organized one-day free blood donation camp at the campus with the collaboration of the Jameela Sultani,
a Chaklala based health body which provides
free blood to Thalassemia children.
Project Topi is a welfare body that organizes

many welfare activities; one of them is the blood
donation camp. Two doctors and nine
paramedical staff performed their duty in the
camp. They were assisted by Project Topi
members who persuade students and brought the
volunteers to the camp for the blood donation.
Dr. Javed Malik said that at GIK Institute they

found all students active, working with complete determination. The members of the society had
remained vigilant for the entire day. “I appreciate their role, concentration, participation, interest and
valuable contribution. Everyone was well disciplined and cooperative. We knew about the uniqueness of
GIK Institute,” he said.
The doctors and paramedical staff have lauded the role played by Mr. Ahmad Aziz, president of Project
Topi. They said that without his inspiring behavior and motivation of the students, it was difficult to
arrange the donation camp successfully.
Engr. Jehangir Bashar, Rector GIK Institute and

other officials said that arranging blood
donation camp has become a regular feature of
Topi Project. It has arranged numerous welfare
activities every year. He lauded students’ efforts
for a worthy cause. The voluntary blood
donation is a great contribution towards saving
lives.
GIK Students society runs a week campaign

against corruption
Character Building Society (CBS) of Ghulam

Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Sciences
and Technology has run a week-long campaign
on the campus against the menace of corruption.
Members of the Faculty and students of various
professional societies participated in the
campaign, upholding the directive of Higher
Education Commission (HEC).

The primary objective of the campaign was to educate GIK Institute students and create awareness among
them about the impact of corruption on our society, especially the economic progress of the country. The
activities were aimed to motivate the youth and concentrate on playing their role in the eradication of
corruption from the Pakistani society. The rampant corruption is one of the biggest threats to the
economic progress of the country.
Rayyan Zahid, president of the

society said that through various
activities their utmost desire was
to reach the youth who are the
future builders.
The activities were: ‘I stand

against corruption; students
pledge to work with complete
determination against corruption
and corrupt practices; essay
writing competition, declamation
contest; anti-corruption poster
competition; a self-awareness art
installation and an anti-corruption walk.
5.10 CBS – Table of Etiquettes and Knowledge:
The Character-Building Society has launched a ‘pilot’ productivity enhancing project for the common
spaces at GIK Institute known as ‘Table of Etiquettes and Knowledge.’
The project is based on transforming the mess table by enhancing its functionality through graphics.
Under this project, each table cloth is replaced with a graphically designed theme covering tableware
placement and information for different niches. The themes currently used in the pilot include physics,
math, facts and figures, and motivation.
Table of etiquettes is an attempt to

revolutionize the plain mess table cloth
and innovated a new method of
transferring knowledge and habits
passively. The double-edged approach is
to promote eating manners while utilizing
empty spaces to promote passive learning
on different topics.

5.11 Student’s keeping environment clean:
GIK is not only renowned for its surrounding beauty but also the
clean environment itself. Students at GIK Institute are always
found passionate about keeping the campus clean, and they
eagerly show their concern about climate safety. Students went
for hiking meanwhile picked all trash they could find to
contribute towards creating a healthy and clean environment.

A brief description of the features of the CMS modules is elucidated below:
➢ Online Admissions System – It is a web-based application designed to help students to submit

online admissions applications. This portal encompasses full admission cycle ranging from
activation of admissions to the generation of merit lists for respective faculties.
➢ Student Information System – It is a significant module of the CMS, which provides
comprehensive information about the full academic status of a student, attendance, marks, and
courses attended. It is further organized into two separate consoles: faculty console and
registration console. The faculty console allows faculty members to enter student marks,
attendance, lectures and final award lists. Whereas, the registration console enables the
Admissions Department to handle course registration of all the students.
